To each his own. I think it looks nice. Plus, the artwork being revealed makes this release more real to me now for some reason. :-P

I decided to catalog as much as I can of this release in DVD Profiler this evening in anticipation of the Blu-ray release. For the front cover I wanted a flat image without the shadow down the left side. This was quick and dirty, but it gets the job done nicely for now.



Don't know about anyone else, but it's been some time since I was this giddy about a Blu-ray release. Really looking forward to this and irrespective of whether the OAR is maintained. I'm also not going to freak out if every shot doesn't look perfect like it was produced yesterday. It is what it is at this point and I plan to enjoy every minute of it on Blu-ray.

The cover art on page one is much nicer imo.

...i’m disappointed.

This just makes the decision to place the BDs in my dvd digipak all the more easier.

More and more I find myself checking the address bar of my browser to see if I went to

by accident.

The PLSS backpack antenna should be visible in the image and appears to have been photoshopped out for compositional reasons.
And "Stunning HD"?! What is this? 2009?! In a world of UHD that marketing hyperbole is ludicrous.
Everything about this release screams 'AMATEURS'.

Finally:
This production was designed for 4:3.
The cinemtography was composed for 4:3.
The effects are 4:3.
It was broadcast to great acclaim in 4:3.
The 16:9 dvd release was massively criticised by fans (the only people likely to buy this) and for over a decade a possible blu-ray release had been discussed with the repeated hope that the aspect ratio is 4:3.
QED the absolute muppets in charge of this release send it out in 16:9!
MORONS!

Well put.
... and no sale (at least to me!) because of that.

You cared enough to quote and respond. Thank you for playing. Sorry you don't like things in their original aspect ratio.
